Your medical history may affect your ability to get tattooed Please take this into consideration before booking your tattoo and paying your deposit.

❖ All deposits are non-refundable

❖ Adequate notice (7 / SEVEN days) is required to move your appointment & to keep your original deposit.

 ❖ You may reschedule your tattoo once only before a new deposit is required.

❖ All deposits are non-transferable, this means your deposit cannot be given to someone else to use as a deposit.  

❖ Upon paying a deposit you, the client, acknowledge that you have clearly communicated your tattoo design idea to us. You have or will review the artist's portfolio to decide that the artist can implement your idea to your satisfaction.

Creating a tattoo design based on a client's concept is subjective and variations may exist between the concept and the finished design. 

Our artists will not copy your reference images. 

If the finished design is not to your liking, minor changes will be made for you. Substantial changes to the design or the request for an entirely new drawing or draft will require a new deposit, and the original deposit will be forfeited as payment for the artist's drawing time. 

❖ All of our artists require a deposit when you are booking your appointment.  

❖ The deposit amount is determined by our artists.

❖  Deposits for full-day appointments may be £100+

  If you decide to pay more as your deposit, your deposit still falls under our policy.  

❖  If you do not have a deposit in place your appointment is NOT secure and could be given away. 

❖ We will NOT indefinitely hold your deposit.

If you do not make a new booking within 7 days of rescheduling we can only assume you no longer want your tattoo and are forfeiting your deposit.

❖ If you don't show up for your appointment, cancel or reschedule multiple appointments a larger deposit of 50% or 100% payment of the appointment cost is required before you will be booked back in. In very rare cases, if you do this a lot, we will not book you back in at all. 

❖ Deposits can be paid in cash, PayPal or Bank Transfer.

❖ We cannot tattoo sunburned skin, if you show up to your appointment with sunburn we will need to reschedule your appointment to the artist's next available date.
The request for a new deposit is at the artist's discretion.

❖ Complimentary touch-ups are at the discretion of your tattooer. 2-3 months is the maximum length of time to get a complimentary touch-up. A set-up charge of £30+ will be taken after that period. 


Our deposit policy is final and exceptions are not made.
Please consider this when booking an appointment.
